I’ve never read the series but the His Dark Materials television show is really well produced. Not sure how closely it follows the books but as far as I understand it’s pretty faithfully executed.
I’m usually fine with not everything from the book making it to the movie, but changes to the plot need to be very well reasoned for. There were for example a lot of changes to the structure of LotR when Jackson adapted it, but they didn’t change the overall plot or message, mostly just restructured it.
The Golden Compass
There’s a whole series of books.
Though there is a TV series now…
Where can you watch the TV series? I really liked that movie.
Max, it’s called His Dark Materials.
Definitely worth seeking out the TV show, it’s much much better than the movie IMO.
That’s kind of a low bar, but yeah, the series is pretty good
Well, yeah, I agree - but the person I was replying to liked the movie, so I didn’t want to be rude! ;-)
How nice of you :D
The TV series is so good. Forget about the movie.

As far as I can remember the Movie did terrible, especially since it didn’t really stick to the source material
Daemons and talking polar bears. I was sold.
I personally am not bothered by sticking to the source material or not. Books and movies are fundamentally different.
